Fellowship recipients are exceptional individuals with demonstrated social commitment and academic achievement. Typically, they are men and women who have overcome obstacles such as poverty and discrimination to gain access to higher education, and they aspire to work for social justice in their home communities upon completion of their studies.
Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program applicants must be resident nationals or residents of an eligible IFP country or territory. Currently, these are: Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Palestinian Territories, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, and Vietnam. IFP selects Fellows on the strength of their clearly-stated intention to serve their communities and countries of origin, and expects that they will honor this obligation.

Closing date: July 21, 2010
URL: http://bit.ly/9jAk3i
For this program, the term "capacity building assistance" or "CBA" means the provision of free (not for fee) information, training, technical assistance (TA) and technology transfer to individuals, organizations and communities to (1) operate optimally, and (2) increase their capacity to effectively deliver evidence-based interventions and core public health strategies for HIV prevention using gender- responsive strategies for programming implementation. CBA services do not include the direct delivery of HIV prevention services. Because populations disproportionately affected by HIV are also disproportionately affected by other sexually transmitted infections (STI) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes, CBA should encompass prevention interventions and public health best practices for these diseases and infections when appropriate.
